Listen now
Description
Can you imagine the ripple effects of epilepsy stigma in a remote village in Cameroon? Our guest, Teguo Daniel Djoyum, a neurotechnologist and social entrepreneur, knows all too well. His personal journey began with his brother's epilepsy diagnosis, sparking a fierce passion for neurodiagnostics within him. Today, he's assisting people in countries like Cameroon, making neurodiagnostic services and education more accessible. His non-profit, the Global Organization of Health Education, is creating waves worldwide, and he's here to share his inspiring story with us. Our conversation uncovers the harsh reality of epilepsy stigma. With Teguo's guidance, we unpack the devastating impacts of such stigma on mental health, family dynamics, and the community's overall economic system. In the midst of this deep dive, we also marvel at Teguo's drive to combat this issue. From founding his organization to the difference it makes, his journey is as enlightening as it is awe-inspiring. Join us and learn more about the world of neurodiagnostics, epilepsy stigma, and the transformative power of access to healthcare.
